Example requested: New features in 5.1.18 for search and subfilter operators [toc macros affected]

[Mohammad]

Last night Jeremy has updated the https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/ with two new features

• search operator which has significant enhances in 5.1.18
• subfilter operator which can be used in toc macros

# Using subfilter with toc macro, the exclude attribute

Assume you have several tiddlers tagged with myTag and you want to build a table of contents but you want to exclude few of them e.g tid-a, tid-b, tid-c

<<toc-selective-expandable 

tag:"myTag" 

exclude:"[subfilter[tid-a tid-b tid-e]]">>

Another example:

Assume you have several tiddlers tagged with tt and there are some of them ALSO have been tagged with tts, how to build a TOC excluding those tagged with tts"

<$set name="myFilter" value="[tag[tts]]">

  <<toc-selective-expandable 

    tag:"tt" 

    exclude:"[subfilter<myFilter>]">>

</$set>

More example requested

 Take a look here: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/pull/3508 and give more semantic examples

Hi Mohammad,

I'm sorry to say. But your assumptions about the "exclude" parameter are completely wrong!

I'll explain the details in the next post.

Hi,

If you have a closer look at the toc-macro docs, you'll see, that there is _no_ exclude parameter. ... It is only used as an internal measure to protect the system from endless loops.

It's way to early, to use this function. It is experimental at the moment and subject to change or being completely removed. It's buggy at the moment of writing.

Hi Mohammad,

Your desire to use an exclude parameter is valid! ... But at the moment it just doesn't work that way!

At the moment the exclude parameter is meant for internal use only! ... If it gets "wrong" parameters, there is a very high chance to create unwanted side effects.

So please give us time that we can think about an exclude parameter that works in a way how users expect it.

have fun!

I am sure I have shared a macro to do this recently. I will be "on the road" for a few days bit have a search here. Otherwise I can give you a custom toc for this. I belive it was before I and bimlas started collaborating on the kin opperator.

Otherwise, I can provide it monday, sydney time.

Thank you Tony!

I will remain! Yes please share! The toc macro in TW5.1.18 seems need some work to do the job!

Mohammad,

Have a look at my post on the 18th of October in this thread https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/tiddlywiki/bimlas%7Csort:date/tiddlywiki/VeRlS9Qti8I/v9tc2tH-CAAJ

Except for formatting to look like a TOC and Not a list the code there shows how to make recursive macros to "walk" a tree like a toc, and the filter determines which of the items found is displayed.

Tony

Thank you Tony!

It is helpful for my case.
